Got the new gear fitted yesterday and there is a small problem on start up that I'm wondering if anybody else has or had and fixed? Basically as soon as I fire up the Hitec Aurora 9 radio the servo on the retract mechanism moves just a fraction and it unlocks the legs and the copter collapses even though the blue led is solid indicating the system hasn't armed yet. This shouldn't be happening. The servo shouldn't move on start up and the legs should only unlock after cycling the up/down switch to arm the system and the blue led flashes. Any thoughts please????

Is it worth comparing the receiver "fail safe" servo position (i.e. transmitter off) with the power on but "legs down" setting? Maybe tweaking the end point adjustments to make sure they are the same?

All sorted now. New mechanism from DW now locks on startup immediately then goes into unarmed mode waiting for you to arm it. Why they didn't do that in the first place is beyond me but all good now.
